If she hadn't been such an utter disaster on the Iraq War then I would be celebrating today. Unfortunately, she has been wrong all along the way, and what disappoints me the most is that I don't think her stance on the war has been from her own principles, rather from her playbook on how to win the presidency in '08. Fascinating that the week she announces her intention, she finally beings saying the right things about this disgrace.

Obama's youth and lack of experience at the federal level is of concern, but I refuse to be a part of the "he can't win because he's half black and because of his name". To buy into that is to be part of the problem.

Right now, the only candidate who could eclipse my support for Obama would be Al Gore, because he was right on the war all along as well. Edwards is very appealing and he has at least admitted his vote was wrong and has been speaking out against the atrocity for quite a while now.

What I will celebrate is the fact that two of the top candidates are a woman and a half-black man. I don't believe in the "are we ready" bull****.
